From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BRUCE DAVIDSON, the former dual world champion from the United States, makes his first appearance in Windsor Great Park for the Brittany Ferries Three-Day Event, which begins today with two days' dressage, writes Genevieve Murphy.
Both Davidson (on Squelch) and the reigning world champion, New Zealand's Blyth Tait (on Ra Ora), are in a position to take the lead in the Land Rover FEI World Three-Day Event Rider Rankings if they finish in the top dozen after Sunday's final show jumping.
Tait, winner of the global rankings last year, is third behind Karen Lende and Marcia Carabell. Davidson is fourth.
Mary Thomson, winner of last year's international section, has an exciting young horse in King Basil. This year she will have her sights set on the Brittany Ferries Riders Challenge, which offers pounds 25,000 to anyone who wins Windsor this week, Blenheim in September and a fixture at Le Lion d'Angers in October.
